Notes from Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists book by Noson S. Yanofsky
and Micro A. Mannucci
Primary example of a complex vector space is set of vectors of a fixed length with
complex enteries.
These vectors describe the states of a quantum systems and quantum computers.

The dimension of a (complex) vector space is the number of elements in a basis of
the vector space.
For example, if V is a complex vector space with a basis B = {v , v , … , v }, then
the dimension of V is n.
